LeAnn Rimes looks forward to turning 30

LeAnn Rimes turns the big 3-0 on August 28, but the country singer isn’t one of those people bummed about leaving her 20s behind.

In fact, the singer held a “Die, 20s, die!” themed birthday party with 20 friends and family members at a private Laguna Beach, Calif., home on Aug. 18, reports People.

“I’ve been ready to leave my 20s behind,” she tells the magazine. “I had so many amazing things happen in my 20s, and I also had a lot of hard lessons to learn. I really have been truly excited about turning 30. I’m ready to be stronger than ever. It’s a new chapter.”

It’s likely those “hard lessons” include the years-old infidelity scandal involving Rimes and her now husband, actor Eddie Cibrian. The couple fell in love during the filming of a Lifetime movie while they were married to other people. Rimes ex-husband, Dean Sheremet, has since remarried, and Cibrian’s ex, Brandi Glanville, is featured on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

The singer seems determined to put the unpleasantness behind her. Rimes’ birthday cake was topped with a mini-version of the country singer wearing a bikini standing on top of a coffin.

“I’m stompin’ on my 20s, stompin’ ’em out,” she says.

For her birthday, Cibrian gave Rimes a rose gold and diamond Cartier “Love” bracelet.

“I’ve always wanted one. I cried so hard when he gave it to me,” says Rimes. “He’s always so thoughtful.”
